Kawiti and Lina's videos of signing their name.
Pontiac and Kataraina's videos of signing their name.
The class was involved in making a video for Sign Language Week. We decided to sign the letters of the NZ Alphabet as our item for Hautoa Assembly in Term Two. They all thoroughly enjoyed learning to sign as a class and also learning some short phrases they could practice on each other and other members of the school.
They received awesome feedback from other students' and teachers' afterwards. I was so proud of all their efforts!! Tino pai rawe atu te akomanga rima!

This year one of our main focus areas was Te Kingitanga. Over the past two terms we gradually learnt about the Maori Royal Whanau and the reasons around why there was a need for the Kingitanga and why Tainui/Waikato was chosen. The students found out loads of facts on the topic. During the consultation process - parents and caregivers wanted the Kingitanga taught to their children, because our school is situated in the Tainui/Waikato area. This term I took a group of students from Room 4, 5 & 6 to the Koroneihana, which the was 10th year celebration of the current Maori King - Kingi Tuheitia - He piko he taniwha, he piko he taniwha
